Have you maxed out the voltage ? I must say i am very happy with my Zotac and seems i got very lucky as the core will boost to 3135Mhz and memory to 12002 , i know its not the best pcb out there but does it really matter ? If it decided to go pop for whatever reason then you have a 5 year warranty and will get another one but for 99% of people playing games will not notice any difference between a top of the range aib pcb and a budget imo , also i went full out last gen and got the Strix which was a stunning card / pcb and caused me no issue but boy did it squill like a pig with coil whine where as my budget zotac is silent no matter what i throw at it :)

How do you adjust the voltage? Do you have Trinity or AIRO? Voltage slider is inactive in my afterburner...

Actually @Jay-G25 do you have the link to the version you use? I have 4.6.5 beta2 and I cant touch voltage ;/

Unfortunately based on derbauers experience that's about as high as the 4090 will get

He found a way to solder an aftermarket chip to his Strix 4090 that gives manual voltage control, but he found that increasing the voltage did not allow for higher clocks - power draw went up but clocks did not.

There are some users who've managed to force higher clocks (you'll see some 3300mhz+ scores under LN2 on 3D mark) but the 4090 is clock stretching, there are 3100mhz cards scoring higher than the 3300mhz cards.

It's hard to actually know if the displayed clock for the 4090 is the effective clock or just stretched, the 4090 seems to do a lot of stretching under the right conditions, I guess the only real measure of performance is your benchmark scores not your clock speed

Yeah without modding the card 1.1v is your lot ( and not enough ) , i wouldn't mind a higher power limit as i am both power and voltage limited in some benchmarks , gaming is not an issue what so ever just the benchmarks where it would help :cry: I can get my core to 3150Mhz but will not sustain that as temps rise and it backs off the clock to 3135Mhz where it will settle , really looking forward to putting it in a waterblock and seeing if i can get it any further but happy enough as is for now :)

+1500 on memory is stable and playable?!? Or is that just pushing it on benchmarks?

yep seems to be so far but only been using it for 48 hrs so needs more time to be sure but so far so good, it will hard crash if i go to +1850 but can run from +1600 to +1800 and it will run but will start to artifact the higher you push it ... at 1800 all sorts or weird stuff happens like black holes appearing on screen :cry: from +1500 to +1600 seems stable so just backed it off to +1500 and seeing how it goes :)
 
I'm back! New MB fixed it. Thankfully the CPU and 4090 FE are fine. Will have to start a RMA with OCUK tomorrow.

Fired up Doom Eternal, it laughs at that game. Everything cranked, raytracing no DLSS and still locked at 120FPS. That game is so well optimised. Cyberpunk looks incredible and is now playable with RT. Not fired up anything else yet. Just relieved the 4090 didn't go pop.

If playing at 120fps might aswell pop on DLDSR and getting it looking even better on Doom Eternal :D

Is there any lucky owners here, with the new
MSI RTX4090 Gaming X Trio Card?

I am curious, how the overclocking is going? With the 3 power cables, and 525Watt limit?Can you still force 1.1Volts, and higher power limits? Surely that’s not negatively affecting its performance?

Cheers.
